She Blinded Me With Science
Added 2019-01-28 19:01:00 +0000 UTCWho doesn't love Brooke? I mean, she's smart, funny, and seriously beautiful. Okay, maybe she's a little dorky too, but you won't hold that against her, will you?
In the main SC: Christy storyline, she's about to graduate with a bioengineering degree from UCSD. (Fun fact: These days it'd be called Biomedical Engineering, but back then it was just bioengineering. Trust me. I have the '84-'85 course catalog from UCSD. Yeah, I do my research.)
Anyway, in California Dreamin', Brooke is working on her Master's degree. Eventually, she'll get a PhD and be even brainier/dorkier/sexier.
Big Ed and I have also been talking about giving her her own book. We even have a good title for it. I don't want to reveal too much, because Ed's in the very early stages of planning it, but I'm pushing for him to write it. We'll see, though.
In the meantime, enjoy Brooke in her natural element.

'She blinded me with science', it seems something for Trip to mention the upcoming success of Thomas Dolby in those days.
2019-03-24 17:58:11 +0000 UTCSo it's a pic of Brooke ten years later, and still hot. Works for me. (I first noticed flatpanel monitors suddenly appearing on the tv show E.R. in the mid 90s, years before us mere mortals in the rest of the world started seeing flatpanel tvs. So it made sense to me that Brooke's high-tech CT scanner might get flatpanel monitors. But regardless, Brooke is still hot.)
2019-01-31 19:31:19 +0000 UTCMy, but we're a bunch of history and computer geeks. No wonder we get along. 🧐

2019-01-31 14:59:39 +0000 UTCRight Matthieu. Color flat panel LCD screens (the 1st, I think were “smectic”, rather than LCDs but the distinction is minor) were prototyped in about 1986. The monitors available back in the era of this pic would be monochrome cathode ray tubes and they would have been as deep as they are wide.
2019-01-31 04:22:44 +0000 UTCRight. *That*'s an anachronism. While some LCDs did exist, they were smaller, not as bright, and no med tech would have been caught with one because their bit depth was abysmal.

2019-01-28 20:05:03 +0000 UTCI got into the wrong branch of Engineering!
2019-01-28 19:56:37 +0000 UTCOne comment tho... flat screens? :p
2019-01-28 19:42:01 +0000 UTCI seriously don’t know how I would cope not having your posts once SC is done. Wife said I am too dorky ^^
2019-01-28 19:40:58 +0000 UTCThanks, but... that's a CT scanner. MRI scanners look practically identical, though. The technology inside is completely different, but the devices look the same.
